Australian physicists develop a Teleportation
-
Although the idea of teleporting individuals from one place to another in order to sidestep the headache of rush hour traffic has been around for quite some time, a team of Australian physicists are busy making it work (on a smaller scale, of course). Granted, they don't fully expect their teleportation scheme to be used on humans in the near future, but there's always hope, right? Anyway, the team has developed a so-called "simple way to transport atoms," which involves bringing the atoms to almost absolute zero, beaming them with two lasers, and using fiber optics to transport them to any other place at the speed of light where they "enter a second condensate" and reconstruct.

And your point is ? :zzz:

Since I live 50+ miles from work it would be nice to have one of these, sure would save on commute time/gas consumption

Researchers have been using quantum effects to teleport single atoms across a lab bench for several years, except perhaps in scale and range this isn't anything fundamentally new.

Still got a long way before we can beem up as I am not sure my atoms will like it very much at absolute zero.

correct and at or faster than light speed. might work for small items say a few thousand atoms but for humans thats a pretty big number of atoms. how you send an atom down fiber optics is interesting... if at all possible??

Single atoms, or sub-atomic particles? I seem to remember the earlier results stopping short of actual matter.

It's always
effectivelylight speed or below. While the actual teleportation may appear instantaneous, it's contingent on data describing the teleported object being carried from the origin to the destination point at light speed or below.-- You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed.

i remember reading a report/article that stated that some lab had been able to particles (not atoms) to go faster than light.. i cant find the link at the moment will have a look later. it may have been 'fud' but seemed pretty genuine from what i can remember :)

I would rather work from home and let VPN beam data to and fro. I don't like the idea of being frozen to almost 0K and being hit by lasers!
Never argue with an imbecile; they bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

Well, being frozen should protect you from being levitated in the vacuum chamber. You can't die from lack of oxygen when your cells are too frozen to use any. :laugh:

The problem that gave you the impression is in bad writing by the people who do the articles. Assuming the send and receive points are 1 light second (300,000km) apart. First a sufficient number of entangled particles are produced, split apart, and moved so that one half of each pair is at each end of the teleportation loop. IIRC you need one pair per particle transmitted. This can be done arbitrarily prior to the rest of the experiment. Second the send point records the complete quantum state of the object being sent. The time needed to do this is irrelevant to the discussion. Third the send point transmits the measured state to the receive point. This will take a minimum of one second. Fourth and finally the receive point uses the received state data and the entangled particles to create the particles being transmitted at the receiver. Quantum mechanics allows this to take place in arbitrarily small amounts of time, which can result in a 'faster than light' movement. But since the 4th step was dependent on the 3rd one which is light speed bound causality is not violated and you cannot use the effect to send data or mater to point in less time than it would without playing quantum mechanical games. It's a cool lab trick but it wouldn't allow you to send a space probe to Alpha Centuari in less than 4 years, or get any data it recorded back before 8 total years had passed.

It's about 30 years ago - maybe more - that Stanislaw Lem wrote two poems about the discomfort of travel if it consisnts of disassembling into atoms, teleportation, and reassembly. If only I could find it, one was really cute. So yeah, the idea has been around some time :) Let's see what the future brings
